Chicago readers: our Poetry Editor Cortney Lamar Charleston’s grandfather has been unaccounted for since 8 p.m. on April 21. He is believed to have been wearing green khaki pants and his Logos Baptist Assembly jacket. There is a photograph of him below. If you see someone that might be him, please call (773) 221-7463. He is eighty-three and has been diagnosed with dementia so he may not be able to recall his name. He does not have any identification on him that the family is aware of. Thank you.
